Computing systems often include one or more master devices and one or more target devices. Master devices include components in the computing system that are capable of originating transactions, such as read and write transactions. The master devices may typically operate on the data that they read and write. Target devices include components in the computing system that may operate on and/or store data. Master devices typically direct read and write transactions to target devices. In some cases, these read and write transactions either affect the operation of the target device or extract data from the target device, or there is some combination of manipulating the target device and getting information from the target device. In other cases, such as with storage devices, the read and write transactions provide a way for the master devices to transfer data from the master devices to the target devices and back.
